Produktbeschreibung

From the back cover: Into Wholeness, Second Edition, is a treat for both experienced imagery practitioners and for those new to the field. This second edition extends the discussion on Deep Imagery, very much placing Dr. Gallegos' way of relating to the deep imagination in terms of a spiritual journey. The discussion on the nature of deep imagery is beautifully interspersed with examples from Dr. Gallegos' own healing journeys which serve as inspiration to the reader to explore their own deep imagination. Into Wholeness illuminates the availability of this unique path to wholeness within each individual. Dr. Gallegos characterizes the deep imagination as a dear and wise friend, waiting within for us to say hello, a friend who knows us well, who desires our healing and is uniquely able to guide us towards our own wholeness. Into Wholeness is an inspiring book, a must read for all imagery aficionados and for anyone seeking their own path to wholeness. Mary Diggin, PhD, Deep Imagery Trainer Author Nasty Women, A Mythological Survival Guide; The Stories we Tell. Deep Imagery is one of the most powerful tools we have in working towards our Wholeness. This imagery is discovered rather than invented. It comes spontaneously and has its own aliveness and its own direction, its own intelligence. It is imagery that we cannot control but we can interact with it and develop a relationship with it. It is the imagery that comes to us in dreams but it can also be invited forth during waking consciousness. In this book Dr. Gallegos explores the use of Deep Imagery as a means of growing into the wholeness and fullness of our own being, as individuals. Using his own experiences as an example, he shows how the consistent use of deep imagery can bring about transformation and healing in each of our lives, at the pace appropriate to each of us individually. A uniquely personal account, he describes many of his own Deep Imagery journeys and the changes he experienced as result, over a period of years.

Autorenporträt

E.S. (Steve) Gallegos was born the state of New Mexico in the southwestern United States in 1934. Of Native American, Hispanic and Irish descent, Steve was raised in the local Hispanic culture speaking both English and Spanish. A gifted craftsman he was involved in woodcarving, leatherwork, silverwork, and drawing and painting from an early age and greatly disliked the confinement and regimentation of school even though he was a intellectually gifted student. After military service, he completed his undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin, his masters at New Mexico State and his Ph.D. in Psychology at Florida State University. He taught at Mercer University, Macon, Georgia between 1967- 1981. After fourteen years as professor of psychology in Macon, GA, Steve undertook a residency in psychotherapy in the State of Oregon and became a practicing psychotherapist. While in Oregon, Steve underwent a spiritual experience that changed him profoundly. This experience is described in The Personal Totem Pole Process (ISBN 9780944164099). He describes the experience as "spontaneously meeting the alivenesses that were rooted in my energy centers and that presented themselves primarily as animals, but they had to be approached through the knowing of the deep imagination. I realized that the teacher I had sought for my entire life was in fact deep within my imagination and had always been there." Since then, introducing people to their own inner animals and the rediscovery of the wisdom of the imagination, has been his path in life. At present he is primarily engaged in offering workshops and in training others in the exploration of the deep imagination in the United States, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Macedonia, Portugal, and Australia.
